Re: need help picking a drsl camara

To buy a new DSLR a budget of about $1,000 is more realistic for an entry level camera and lens kit. If you make photography your hobby, you will want to add more items which can easily double that.

No camera is truly dust proof or weather proof. Higher end cameras models are dust and weather "resistant', but you also need dust and weather "resistant' lenses and that really drives up the price. I wouldn't bother worrying about it for a first camera.
